[Verse 1]
Serve your twisted enemy
So you might earn forgiveness
You know your whole world is waiting
So why can’t you speak?

[Chorus]
I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?

[Verse 2]
So go and tell all your friends
That I’m a failure underneath
If it makes you feel like a bigger man
But it’s my, my heart, my life
That you're calling a lie
I’ve played this game before
And I can’t take anymore

[Chorus]
I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?

[Bridge]
By drifting far beyond the edge
Freedom, freedom
Can’t you feel the ground caving in?
Freedom
Give us a reason to believe again

[Chorus]
I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
Or just a new way to bleed?

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, like fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed. Some of their most popular hits “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” and “What You Want.”

In 2014, the band parted ways with their long-term record label Wind-Up and became independent artists. In late 2016, they released a Ultimate Collection box set featuring all their albums along with the 2000 demo album Origin and a B-sides compilation Lost Whispers.

In November 2017, they released their fourth album, Synthesis, featuring a reimagining of some of their past songs plus two new original songs with the spotlight on full orchestra and electronics.
